Finchley's main sports team is Finchley RFC, a rugby team who play in red and white hoops and who's ground is located on Summers Lane. The club has a proud tradition and is well known for beeing a good developer of young talent.
Located directly next to Finchley R.F.C is the local football team, Wingate & Finchley who play in the Southern League Eastern Division. It was founded as a specifically Jewish football club in 1946.
Victoria Park is an area of open space in the Finchley Central area; it is situated alongside much of Ballards Lane and is close to Finchley Central tube Station. It was opened in 1902 and was intended to mark Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee and was Finchley's first Public Park.
Finchley was from 1959 to 1992 the Parliamentary Constituency of Margaret Thatcher, UK Prime Minister from 1979 to 1990.
Since 1963 Finchley has been twinned with Jinja, Uganda.
